Part of that has to do with her job. As the gallery manager at Franklin Street Works, a nonprofit art space in Stamford, Milet spends a good portion of her time installing exhibitions.

"I don't want to ruin anything," she said.

Her style is also shaped by her French upbringing and her experience attending a French-American school.

"Everyone had scarves on, even if it was 80 degrees," she said, laughing.

Standing outside Franklin Street Works recently, Milet wore a green military jacket from Urban Outfitters over a blue denim button-down from Topshop in New York City's SoHo neighborhood, skinny black jeans by Joe's, brown suede boots by Audrey Brooke, black Ray-Ban sunglasses, a cushion ring from Tiffany's and a ribbon bracelet from Brazil that holds special significance.

"You make a wish, put it on and when it falls off the wish comes true," Milet said.

Even though she's a classy dresser, Milet likes to keep it casual and comfortable; her style is effortless.
